		| | I love this photograph.  I think it should have ranked much higher.  The contrast is terrific and going black and white was an excellent choice. |

		| | Love the patterns here, good idea to focus just on the roots rather than whole tree. |

		| | This shot works so well in b/w. A nice shot. |

		| | Excellent subject and good technical work.  I feel as though I would have taken this picture myself. |

		| | love the angle and use of b&W. gives me an eerie feeling... like fingers creeping out of, yet grabbing into the soil. Very effective. |

		| | Wow, beautiful! Somehow, although this picture is very abstract, with no clear centre of interest, I still don't feel that it's confusing. The black and white is very rich. |

		| | I have seen root structures like these and find this picture doesn't have quite enough impact for a 10.  I do find it an agreeable photo though.  =7 syamjonimi

		| | all around wonderful image. very well done. |

		| | I really like this. Maybe you could post it in color sometime. Id just like to see it that way. black and white looks good too. | 
 | 
		
			|  | 08/06/2002 06:33:00 AM | 
		| | Great shot. I love the shapes that nature makes naturally. Black & white really works well. If I was REALLY picky - some of the debris( twigs and bits) kind of detract from the flowing roots, maybe having brushed some of them away first - very subjective. Well done - lamedos |

		| | This is just great.  When I first starting getting interested in photography, I wanted to do shots just like this (I still need some practice).  I like the b/w - you'll have to post an outtake of the color version, if possible.   Great work!!   9 Ruthann

		| | Something old. Use your photographic technique to emphasize the age of your subject. Composition - very good
 Technical Aspects - quite good
 Meets Challenge - yes
 Visual Impact / Originality - good

		| | Great idea.  Very nice pattern. | 
 | 
		
			|  | 08/05/2002 01:45:00 PM | 
		| | This is really neat.  I would have liked to see some of the trunk though...to connect the roots with life, so to speak.  Nice choice for b&w.  7 LIsa |
